![]() Susie’s complete indecision and possible rejection is enough for Clayton to know that he has got to break up with Rachel and Gabby. Susie says she’s not ready to decide yet and goes off into the cold Iceland night. Clayton says he didn’t mean what he said and he was acting way out of character and all he wants is a chance to fight for her. She tells him that he made her question her intuition and inner voice. They go outside and Susie explains that she was shocked by how Clayton responded to her breaking up with him and … okay, ma’am, I don’t know. ![]() Susie tells Clayton’s dad that she’d like to keep her coat on because this … won’t take long. Her feet should never touch a puddle and the sun should never shine upon her face unless it’s shaded by a parasol carried by you. Sir, this is a woman you’re trying to woo put in some effort. Susie comes in, and Clayton neither stands to greet her nor asks to take her coat. She’s basically my girlfriend, but she doesn’t know it yet,” and Clayton’s mom says, “I’m afraid this is not going to happen.” Clayton sits with his parents and is like, “Oh, she’s supercool. But Clayton is going to make Susie meet his parents before he even has a chance to make a plea for her heart again. Jesse tells Susie that Clayton wants to see her again, and Susie says she’s still really emotional. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! No! No! No! I don’t find this cute! But that doesn’t matter to Clayton, because you don’t realize what you’ve got until it’s gone and he would risk everything he has to talk to her again. Clayton is waking up and he realizes he loves the one woman who has definitively told him that she doesn’t want to be with him and technically isn’t a contestant on this game show anymore. An Airbnb is a perfect location and has an amazing view and would make your mom happy, but this isn’t that. We’re back at the Hilton somewhere deep in Iceland, and I would like to remind you all that this is not an Airbnb. This show has asked us to be invested in worse outcomes, but did anyone feel the hasty shuffling offstage of Clayton and his eventual girlfriend, Susie? Where was even a single ounce of romance? Where was an iota of sentimentality? Where was even the tiniest smidge of emotion? The last image of Clayton’s “love story” is him giving one rose to Susie before the show just pivots to OUR TWO NEW SIMULTANEOUS BACHELORETTES, which is hilarious and pathetic, but I GUESS?!?!? I guess this is happening and we all have to live with it. But you can only watch your college friend’s younger brother make a series of the stupidest decisions possible and get everything he wants in the process for so long before your eyes glaze over and you gently disassociate while he talks about his NFT soy vape company. But looking back on this season, what did we get for all of it? What was taken from us, and what did we get in return? Because I feel like so much was taken from me - my youth, my health, my time - and what did I get in return? Was it really the Most Dramatic and Emotional and Shocking and Controversial and Preposterous and Monstrous and Flabbergasting ending in Bachelor history? Because if it was, I would have felt something at the end of all this. I mean, I have some memories of Croatia and Houston and apparently something involving shrimp was very important at one point in our lives. ![]() Ummm … I guess? I guess this all happened.
